A New Chapter

Pretty much everyone I know is entwined in the little world of FB and all of it's stories, pokes, emojis and memes.

I have been a part of it for such a long time.

But I have recently opted to walk away from that world.

I'm hoping it's permanent.

It wasn't a sudden and rash decision. It took me a week or so, tying up loose ends and just getting things ready to shut down my account. I didn't really warn people because I don't want to look like I am just trying to draw attention to myself "oooh, look at me! I'm leaving! That's it! I've had enough! Good bye FB world!"

You know what I mean.

I also don't want anyone to convince me to stay.

A clean break and try to move on with my life.

Why delete my page? Why not just not visit FB?

I can't. It keeps sucking me in. I have to get rid of the page to get rid of the temptation.

My kids deserve a mom who isn't constantly popping onto her phone/computer just to see what's goind on. Or if anybody commented on my post. Or messaged me.

They are growing up.

So fast.

I hate that I'm missing moments and even hours of their lives because my nose is shoved into a make-believe world of drama and senselessness.

To my readers that were also on my personal page: I love you all.

But I love my kids infinitely more.

And I will continue to blog and maybe vlog (oh, geez, vlogs are so much harder for me than blogs! hahaha...probably because my house looks like a nuclear bomb went off in it most days) and keep all the fun going on Naptime's FB page, I promise!

I wonder what life without Facebook in 2016 is like....

Do you ever wonder that?? I haven't seen a FB-less world since....2008?
